Thanks man!

Right on. I have yet to hear anything negative about these winches. How's the synthetic line holding up? I may eventually switch over down the road as this Jeep evolves

is the synthetic as reliable? i own a TJ 2006 and am thinking about getting a winch...but im having a tough time deciding.

Dirona the steel cable has been holding up just fine. Synthetic is Extremely reliable. I winch allot and so do the guys I jeep with all run synthetic rope and non of us have had one fail (knock on wood) Steel cable is heavy, it frays causing extreme cutting hazards when handling. Steel cable stores energy so if it does break it will tension whip which could really hurt someone standing too close. Synthetic rope doesn’t do this. Also steel cable gets kinks and gets ratty looking over time. If you don’t winch much then all this doesn’t matter so save money and get the steel. But want to save 45-50lbs between cable/fairlead weight reduction and the other advantages mentioned above, get the synthetic. You can look around and catch a sale for a M8000 with the synthetic rope as a package. I got mine for not that much more from Northridge on sale. This is my second Jeep winch I’ve used Synthetic, never going back to steel cable. My 2 cents. Good luck with your choice

Glad you like them!

Thanks man!

Thanks!

With a little patience, good deals are out there. Took 10+years of searching to find the $900 deal I got on this Jeep, but in the past I've bought a couple high mileage TJs for $2000-2500. Just need to act on them fast because as you can imagine they're usually sold within a matter of hours. (And of course the price of jeeps is HIGHLY dependent on where you live, I live in the northeastern US which seems to be one of the cheapest places to buy) Thanks for following!

Good to hear, thanks for watching!

Same! LOL

Agreed!

Absolutely!

The 2.4 has a timing belt and I'd steer clear of that one. The 2.5 and 4.0 will run forever as long as you keep oil in them. Both are great engines but some would consider the 2.5 to be underpowered.

Couldn't have worked out any better!

Those are good looking bumpers and I bet a M8000 would look right at home sitting on top of it

Any winch is better than no winch!

There are more than enough high dollar JK and 4Runner builds out there. Figured it was time to show how the other 98% of us live.

It’s more important now than ever

Very soon. If you look closely you may have gotten a slight sneak preview at the end of this video.

Wow that's quite a price hike, think I bought it back in February or March and $589 was the price they were selling them at. I just tried looking for it again but can only find the synthetic rope version on their site now. $600 +/- seems to be the standard going rate across the board for these things if you do some searching around. It looks like Amazon currently has a few listed right around that price point.

There was enough clearance under the plate that I was able to crawl under the Jeep and install them.

@@dironaa I see it now , going with the same set up your doing , thank you

eBay special. Not sure what brand but it was the cheapest one I could find on eBay.

Yes, you only need a winch plate like the one in the video

Not sure, you'd have to contact Warn for that info. I imagine it's more waterproof than the engine of my Jeep though lol.

Agreed, a winch is one of the most worthwhile purchases! Enjoy the warm weather in Hawaii, we have a few feet of snow here..

Exactly. Do what works for you.

Nothing wrong with that!

@@dironaa somtimes i have to winch super short it helps alot

Exactly
